Mid-Week Progress Report

Just a little progress report on what's going on in my fibersphere.
I've finished knitting the Pirate Queen's Booty Bag and hope to felt it this weekend.  Here's what it looks like before felting.  This is double knitting so is reversible.  That is why there are two pics.  Inside and outside views.

I've completed clue 1 and 2 of the Certain Shade of Green Shawl KAL.  Clue 3 will be released tomorrow and I'm itching to pick it up again and continue.  Here is progress so far.

I finished last month's Purple Fleece fiber club selection of corriedale.  It is called Irridescence and it's lovely.  It reminds me of a box of crayons and will make something for a child nice and colorful.

I've started spinning the Purple Fleece merino licorice that was in my gift basket.  I have one bobbin spun so far.

Then the April fiber of the month arrived and I started on that.  It's a lovely Blue Faced Leicester/Silk blend called Gentle Rain.  Once again, I doubted I would like it but was anxious to try the BFL/silk so dived right in.  I'm surprised at how pretty it is.  It reminds me of irises and I found I love spinning this particular blend and will be sure to get more in the future. 

I have 3 rows left to knit on my citron shawl so I'll wait until I block it before I post it here.  I'm so excited to have used just about all of the 8 oz of polwarth I spun in the Mother Earth colorway for this project.  It's perfectly suited to me for my wardrobe of greens and earthy colors and the polwarth is just so soft.  The colors of nature just make my heart sing.
